Young v. United Parcel Service, Inc.
What's at Stake
Whether the Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits an employer from denying a light-duty accommodation to pregnant workers that is available to other employees.
Summary
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) provides that pregnant employees shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes as other employees who are "similar in their ability or inability to work." In this case, the employer offered light-duty accommodations to employees who were injured on the job and to disabled workers but denied the same accommodation to pregnant employees. Our amicus brief explains why policies of this sort undermine the very purpose of the PDA. Our brief also highlights the real life impact on women and their families who are forced out of work because of their pregnancies.
